Hi Anton, This is already possible using the FROM: word in the qualified vocabulary. With this word you can explicitly list all words to import, no other words will appear in the search path:
FROM: sequences => each nth length ; Whether this should be encouraged or not, I'm not so sure. If you're only using one or two words from a vocabulary it might be a good idea, but if you're using many the FROM: forms would get too long.
